RECORDING FROM AN EXTERNAL COMPONENT ONTO THE HDD
■ Using an external timer to record
Notes on recording time setting
• This unit is not equipped with the clock function. Use an external timer when making a timer recording.
• It may take 30 seconds to 1 minute after the power of this unit is turned on by an external timer until an actual recording starts. (This length
of time is subject to change depending on the condition.) During this time, no recording is made. Therefore set the time that is 2-minute
earlier than the starting time of the program to be recorded for turning on this unit.
• As a characteristic of an HDD recorder, it is necessary to store information to control audio data as well as audio data itself. This informa-
tion is normally recorded when recording is stopped. Therefore if the power of this unit is turned off before recording is stopped, no
information to control audio data and no audio data are stored. Set the time that is longer than 3-minute after the program to be recorded
finishes for turning off this unit by an external timer.
• Set the time that is 2-minute longer than actual recording time for the total recording time.
Following chart indicates the time flow when this unit makes timer recordings.
Example: To record the program that starts at 9:00 and ends at 10:00.
• Set the external timer to be turned on at 8:58.
• Set the external timer to be turned off after 10:03.
• Set 1 hour 2 minutes for the total recording time on this unit.
Memo
• Actual recorded material includes a little more than the set amount of time at both beginning and end of the recording. Delete unnecessary
parts using the editing operation.
• Recording will be stopped if copy protected digital signals are input while timer recording is being made.
• If you set the total recording time over 179 minutes 59 seconds, recording will be made extending several discs. To play the recorded
materials sequentially, select “Style All” as the play style (P.20).
